Let’s start with good news: This Stitch Fix box contained no tricky backs<\/a>.<\/p>\n The bad news: Literally everything else.<\/p>\n Here were some pants that would’ve been fine.<\/p>\n Except I’m a hobbit.<\/p>\n Don’t send me shit I can’t get tailored for under $10, or at least tuck under and staple<\/a>!<\/p>\n Moving on. My style profile says I like “clean patterns.” Does this qualify? No, it does not.<\/p>\n Unless I take my hands off my hips, and then it’s more of…<\/p>\n Reader, I can’t yodel. By the transitive property of equality, I can’t wear curtains.<\/p>\n Sometimes, there’s an item that’s just “Eh” but,\u00a0in contrast with other more craptastic items, seems “Eh?” Like, maybe I’ll keep this because at least it’s better than those other things? Fortunately, I’m getting better at recognizing them, like this Eh sweater in Eh grey.<\/p>\n This next sweater might’ve been OK, but it didn’t Spark Joy\u2122, and like every other Netflix subscriber, I’m trying to do what Marie Kondo tells me to.<\/p>\n As much as I identify as a hobbit (short, hates shoes<\/a>, regularly eats second breakfast, etc.), I do so little traveling by foot with a bindle now that I have kids.<\/p>\n I certainly didn’t like it $39 worth.<\/p>\n When we both realized this Fix was a zero-for-five, we jinxed each other with simultaneous thumbs-down gifs.<\/p>\n I started this post with bad news, so I might as well bookend it with more bad news. The Lane Bryant jeans and pants I mentioned last time are… not magical. I think I mistook their roominess for awesomeness. And I mean, roominess is a type of awesomeness, but they drape kinda weird and sag when not tightly belted, which defeats the purpose of roominess anyway.<\/p>\n The sports bras are all right, but they cost sixty bucks each so they fucking better be.<\/p>\n Hey, if you want to try Stitch Fix for yourself (not all Fixes are bad, swear), please use\u00a0this link<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.
